Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a resin composition for powder coating utilizing a carboxyl group-containing resin and an epoxy group-containing curing agent and provided with high impact resistance, weather resistance, etc. BACKGROUND ART
  • thermosetting resin is mainly used from the viewpoint of the smoothness and physical properties of the coating film.
  • a thermosetting resin has a drawback that when a condensation type resin is used or when a blocked isocyanate is used as a curing agent, a condensation-liberated component or a blocking agent will form a gas at the time of curing, which in turn forms bubbles in the coating film.
  • a polyglycidyl compound may, for example, be mentioned which is free from a component liberated during the curing reaction.
  • a polyglycidyl compound such as a bisphenol type diglycidyl ether
  • a bisphenol type diglycidyl ether of a low molecular weight type is liquid at room temperature, and if it is melt-mixed with a carboxyl group-containing resin, followed by pulverization to obtain a powder coating, it brings about a problem that the powder undergoes fusion or blocking during the storage.
  • a bisphenol type diglycidyl ether of a high molecular weight type has a less number of functional groups (epoxy groups) per unit weight, and a larger amount will be required, which is disadvantageous from the viewpoint of the cost. Further, if a bisphenol type diglycidyl ether of a high molecular weight type is incorporated in a large amount, the melt viscosity of the coating material tends to be high, thus leading to a problem that smoothness of the coating film will be impaired.
  • the curing agent is usually desired to be solid at room temperature and have a low melt viscosity and a large number of functional groups per unit weight.
  • a compound having three glycidyl groups or similar functional groups per molecule such as triglycidyl isocyanurate or tris(/?-methylglycidyl) isocyanurate, may, for example, be mentioned.
  • Triglycidyl isocyanurate has high crystallizability and thus has a high melting point at a level of from 100 to 140°C. Accordingly, in order to mix it uniformly with the resin containing carboxyl groups, it will be necessary to conduct the kneading at a slightly high temperature (a temperature around the melting point).
  • this triglycidyl isocyanurate is highly reactive, and a curing reaction between carboxyl groups and glycidyl groups tends to proceed to some extent to form powder coating even at the temperature for the kneading, whereby the flow property (fluidity) at the time of baking (heat curing) tends to decrease slightly, thus leading to formation of surface roughening so-called orange peel on the surface of the coating film.
  • tris( ⁇ -methylglycidyl) isocyanurate has a melting point of from 70 to 100°C, and it can be uniformly kneaded with the resin containing carboxyl groups at a relatively low temperature at a level of 100 ⁇ C or lower, whereby the curing reaction during the kneading can be suppressed. Therefore, it is free from the above-mentioned problem.
  • Publication No. 24244/1974 discloses a resin composition for powder coating, which comprises tris(/?- methylglycidyl) isocyanurate and a polyester resin having an acid value of from 30 to 200 prepared from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or its ester, a dihydroxy alcohol and a polybasic carboxylic acid.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 94722/1974 discloses a method for producing a resin composition for powder coating comprising a free hydroxyl group- containing polyester resin, an acid anhydride and an epoxy compound such as tris(j_-methylglycidyl) isocyanurate.

  • composition m ay contain, as a catalyst, a tetraalkylammonium salt such as tetrabutylammonium bromide or tetraethylammonium chloride, an imidazole compound such as imidazole, 2- methyl-4-ethyl-imidazole or 2-methyl-imidazole, a tertiary amine such as triethylene diamine or N- methylmorpholine, or an organic carboxylic acid compound such as cobalt naphthenate or zinc naphthenate.
  • a tetraalkylammonium salt such as tetrabutylammonium bromide or tetraethylammonium chloride
  • an imidazole compound such as imidazole, 2- methyl-4-ethyl-imidazole or 2-methyl-imidazole
  • a tertiary amine such as triethylene diamine or N- methylmorpholine
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 12823/1976 discloses a composition for powder coating having a polybasic carboxylic acid incorporated to a polymer made of a vinyl type monomer having a (methyl)glycidyl group, an unsaturated polyester having (methyl)glycidyl groups and other vinyl type monomers.
  • an acid, an alkali or an amine may be added in order to promote the curing reaction.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 69935/1977 discloses a composition for powder coating having a certain polyester having a low acid value incorporated to a carboxyl group-containing polyester and triglycidyl isocyanurate or tris(/?-methylglycidyl) isocyanurate.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63872/1992 discloses a composition for powder coating, which comprises a carboxyl group-containing resin and a polyglycidyl compound having from 2 to 6 glycidyl groups per molecule obtained by adding an epoxy compound such as tris( / _-methylglycidyl) isocyanurate to a polyester oligomer having at least two carboxyl groups per molecule.
  • This composition may contain a curing catalyst such as imidazole.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 288373/1992 discloses a composition for powder coating, which comprises a basic resin and a curing agent, and further a curing catalyst.
  • the basic resin is a resin having at least two carboxyl groups per molecule.
  • the curing agent triglycidyl isocyanurate or a polyglycidyl compound having from 2 to 6 glycidyl groups, on average, per molecule obtained by adding tris( ⁇ -methylglycidyl) isocyanurate to a polyester oligomer having at least two carboxyl groups per molecule, is disclosed.
  • a tertiary amine such as triethylamine, or an imidazole compound having a secondary amino group, such as imidazole or 2- ethylimidazole, is disclosed.
  • the polyester resin having free phenolic hydroxyl groups has a low reactivity with the epoxy compound added as a curing agent, since the influence of H + (protons) attributable to the phenolic hydroxyl groups is small. Accordingly, for the purpose of increasing the reactivity, it is common to employ a method of adding a cure-promoting agent such as a tertiary amine.
  • a cure-promoting agent such as a tertiary amine.
  • compositions for powder coating having an epoxy compound such as triglycidyl isocyanurate or tris(?- methylglycidyl) isocyanurate added as a curing agent to a carboxyl group-containing resin.
  • an epoxy compound such as triglycidyl isocyanurate or tris(?- methylglycidyl) isocyanurate added as a curing agent to a carboxyl group-containing resin.
  • composition for powder coating comprising a carboxyl group-containing resin and a curing agent having a glycidyl group
  • triglycidyl isocyanurate is used as a curing agent for such a composition for powder coating
  • glycidyl groups in the triglycidyl isocyanurate have a high reactivity with carboxyl groups, and thus the carboxyl groups and the glycidyl groups react efficiently, whereby the desired curing reaction proceeds.
